Three Day Wrap Up

Those visitors I teased about earlier came and went without a single photograph!  My Aunt Sarah and her best friend Cheryl came from Arkansas on Thursday and Friday to spend some time with the boys.  I had a nice time with them, but the boys had a GREAT time with them.  They are both kindergarten teachers and super great at all things kid-related.  Lincoln latched on to Cheryl and wouldn't give her a second of rest.  They were totally attached at the hip.  I even caught him waiting outside the bathroom door for her to come out . . . geez, Linc!  Beau charmed Sarah with his big blue eyes while Linc and Cheryl were playing, but Linc eventually let us all back in the game.  Thanks for visiting!!

Saturday morning brought a little surprise in that Beau wasn't feeling too good.  Either he has a little stomach bug or that last molar is giving him a hard time.  He really played well and even ate well, but he was super clingy by the end of the night.  Linc and I got him to perk up for most of the day.  We had lots of silly pretend fun with the blocks.  Linc built a surfboard and went out to catch a few waves . . . I don't know where he gets this stuff!  (I can't recall Elmo or Mickey Mouse surfing on any videos or books!)

 He built countless towers, castles, zoo cages, parking garages, and on and on.  We've really gotten someone's money's worth out of those cardboard blocks!  (By the way, he does own more than just Texas Rangers shirts, but he always wears one to baseball practice on Saturdays.  It seems like every picture I take is of Linc in a Rangers tshirt!)

 Beau destroyed a few of Linc's creations throughout the day, but that's what brothers are for I guess!  We tried to give Linc some space, so we built our own towers.  We also spent a lot of time on identifying body parts today.  Beau really likes this game!  He loves to show his fingers . . .

  . . . but his favorite body part is his belly!!!  He must raise his shirt each time he's asked where his belly is, and don't even ask him if he's wearing a one piece suit.  (He gets furious that he can't actually see/touch it!)  It's quite a large target, so I can see why it's his favorite!

The other body parts that Beau knows are ears, hair, eyes, mouth, and toes.  I wasn't successful in getting pictures of those.  We also sat together reading books and singing songs a lot this evening.  That was best for a tired and not-feeling-right Beau.  Linc helped us sing The Wheels on the Bus, If You're Happy And You Know It, Old MacDonald, and several more songs over and over.  I hope tomorrow is less sickly and more happy.  Beau learned how to "cheers" us with his SmartWater-filled cup tonight, so let's raise an electrolyte enhanced water bottle to a good night's sleep and feeling great tomorrow!
